2039 IPA PRO CUP SERIES - GAME THREE AT WESTERNER FIELD IN WALESKA

GRAY SAVES THE DAY, CHAMPS WIN 3-1 IN GAME 3
Once again Arlon's Lanny Gray has saved the day... in game three of the IPA Pro Cup Finals, Gray came through with another clutch postseason performance... this time he hurled the Champs to a 3-1 crucial victory over Waleska and narrowed the Westerners' lead to two games to one... now Arlon has a fighting chance... Gray (4-0/2.48), a 23-year-old southpaw, chalked up his fourth postseason victory with 11 strikeouts and no walks... though he permitted 10 hits, Gray held Waleska to just one run.

In the first round of the playoffs, Gray, the IPA strikeout leader, finished off East Point in game seven 5-3... in the Tycobbian LCS he beat North Hills 7-5 in game two and eliminated the Hawks 7-1 in the sixth game.

Gray and Waleska starter Jeff Woodruff matched zeroes on the scoreboard for the first seven frames... finally the Westerners broke through with three runs in the top of the eighth... with one away and CF Gussie Czajk (.301) on second, RF Mark Cameron (.301) was walked intentionally... C Nick Shafer (.306) then singled in the first run of the game... 1B Ernie Pryor's (.211) infield single made it 2-0... and SS Roland Duvernet (.273) doubled in the third one.

Waleska threatened in the ninth... singles by C Rodney Hanson (.305) and 1B Shayn Lambert (.386) placed runners on the corners... Hanson scored on a single by SS Bobby Denton (.351)... with the tying runs on base, LF Teke Holmes (.250) ended the game when he grounded into a double play.

Both squads had 10 hits each... for Arlon LF Charley Hastings (.209), Czajk and Cameron posted two hits apiece, while Hanson and Lambert topped Waleska with a pair of hits.

Loser Woodruff (1-2/2.54) worked into the ninth, surrendered three runs and 10 hits with four walks and three strikeouts.
